I suggest that the tool turn-git-to-srpm-o'matic should not be part
or copr itself. It should be separate project. And there are already
some existing. E.g. Tito, or {cpan,gem,...}2spec + rpmbuilder and
probably others.
Yes - copr can use them and utilize them.
I agree. The whole point of the playbook is to run other programs.
I don't know what the turn-git-to-srpm-omatic would do - Slavek said
Radek was very interested in that ability. When Slavek and I talked
about it at summit I said - I don't know what particular tool would be
used to do that conversion but if the url that we git from the user for
a package is NOT a srpm then we should just pass it off to this program
and move merrily along.
